Chapter 101 Protecting Our Freedom to Eat Fish

"Fortunately, the government officials forcibly transferred us here in advance."

"I just don't know who was so foresighted that let us move out early, thus avoiding this disaster?"

"Is it the Emperor? If so, we must thank the Emperor sincerely."

"We were still cursing the Emperor before. We were so wrong. So wrong."

As this was said, the people got up, dressed, and walked out of the big tent with serious faces. They came to the outside of Emperor Zhaoning's tent, wanting to apologize to him and express their gratitude.

Emperor Zhaoning had just woken up at this moment.

He slept with Jiujiu last night, and Jiujiu hasn't woken up yet.

Hearing the voices of the people outside, Emperor Zhaoning sat at the head of the bed, rubbed his temples, and asked Fu'an: "What's going on outside?"

Fu An nodded and said, "Your Majesty, according to the spies, a fatal snowstorm occurred in Qiaoshu County, and the people now know about it. They want to thank the emperor for saving their lives, and they also want to apologize for their previous rude behavior."

Emperor Zhaoning looked at Jiujiu's chubby face as she fell asleep, and sighed in his heart that Jiujiu's prediction was correct, there really was a heavy snowstorm, and said, "The credit belongs to Jiujiu, not me..."

"The person they should really thank is Jiujiu."

"Then do you want to carry the princess out? Let them thank you?" Fu'an asked carefully.

Emperor Zhaoning said: "Of course I want it."

He doesn't want his Jiujiu to do good deeds without leaving a name.

He wanted his Jiujiu to be respected by the people of the world like him.

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhaoning came outside with Jiujiu in his arms and said to the guilty-looking people at the door: "It was the princess who asked everyone to evacuate early. The princess dreamed of a snowstorm."

"The person you should thank is the princess."

"She's actually a princess?"

The people were amazed.

"The princess actually has the ability to predict the future?"

"The princess is amazing."

"I was right. The princess has a blessed face. She will definitely bring good luck and blessings to those around her and the people of Western Chu. It is a great fortune for Western Chu to have the princess."

As the people spoke, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed nine times.

But Jiujiu was nestled in Emperor Zhaoning's arms, wrapped in a blanket, with her eyes closed and her face tilted back, sleeping soundly.

If Jiujiu knew that she was being kowtowed to by everyone while she was asleep, she would definitely say, "Couldn't your cheap dad wake me up before letting everyone kowtow to me? Jiujiu really likes this experience."

“It was so hard to experience it again, but it was while I was asleep.”

"Cheap dad, you have no moral principles."

Next, Emperor Zhaoning ordered the crown prince to formulate a new disaster relief plan and settle the people of Qiaoshu County.

It is not enough to just save the lives of the people, we also have to find a way to resettle them. Otherwise, if robbery, disturbances and riots occur, it will be bad.

"Your Majesty, someone came to report that the second prince was buried in the snow and is asking for help?" Fu'an said.

Are you here to report this again?

Emperor Zhaoning felt a little annoyed. How many times have I reported it? He has never responded. Doesn't he understand his attitude?

A bunch of idiots.

The second prince was buried in the house at this moment.

Although there was no couch in the house for the time being, he couldn't get out of the door because it was blocked by snow. There was nothing to eat or drink in the house, and he felt that he was in a desperate situation and was about to die.

"They're still brewing tea around the stove."

"Cook shit."

"Now the door can't be opened, it's all snowy, what should I do?"

As the second prince spoke, he kicked the table legs hard several times.

A few people nearby looked at the creaking roof and advised, "Your Highness, calm down. Nothing in this room can withstand being kicked."

"I don't know if the emperor will send someone to rescue us?"

"If he sends someone to rescue me, I just need to hold on for a few days and he will definitely be able to rescue me."

"But what do we eat and drink during this time?"

The second prince never imagined that one day he would be so anxious just for a little food and drink.

He also began to regret it. If he had known earlier, he would have listened to that little girl Feng Jiujiu and avoided the snowstorm instead of coming to Qiaoshu County, let alone proving anything with his own body.

It's too risky.

This step he took was too radical.

"damn it--"

The second prince punched the pillar in the room in regret.

Then the next moment, the house shook a few times and collapsed...

The Second Prince and his entourage were buried in the snow and almost suffocated.

“Ahhhh, help!”

"Someone come."

"Help! I'm dying!"

But no one responded.

·

In order to avoid criticism, Emperor Zhaoning sent people to rescue the second prince.

However, his men were not going to rescue the Second Prince, they were only patrolling the outskirts of Qiaoshu County.

After the snow melts, they will go and collect the bodies of the Second Prince and his entourage who were trapped to death.

If the second prince crawls out of the house alive, kill him directly.

Emperor Zhaoning would not tolerate a fake prince staying by his side.

Jiujiu finally woke up at this moment. While washing up, she heard what had just happened outside. After hearing it, she puffed out her cheeks and felt a little resentful towards her cheap father for not waking her up so that she could experience the feeling of being thanked on his knees.

Fortunately, several brothers came to tell her that there was a river nearby and they would take her to the ice to break ice and catch fish. It was fun. She immediately calmed down and said happily: "Let's go catch fish and catch lots of fish."

"For dinner, we have sweet and sour fish, West Lake fish, pickled fish, chopped pepper fish, braised fish, and tofu fish..."

Jiujiu, the little foodie, was happily thinking about the fish feast. She also thought that it would be great if Dijiang was here too, so that they could catch and eat fish together.

In her memory, Dijiang also loved eating fish.

But Dijiang can't go out.

Jiujiu suddenly felt sorry for Dijiang.

This kind of heartache is not like before.

In the past, she only had the fear, wooing, and befriending mentality towards Dijiang. But gradually, she began to feel really sorry for Dijiang being trapped in the four directions, unable to even leave the door.

"well……"

Jiujiu sighed.

The prince said, "Jiujiu, hurry up and pack up. We will set off soon. There are many fish in Songyu River. We must catch enough fish today before returning."

"What, Songyu River?"

Jiujiu was shocked by the name of the river.

[There are many fish in this river in the book, but after the snowstorm, the fish are no longer edible.]

[Someone will poison this river and kill all the fish.]

[We, the people of Xichu, rely on this river to eat fish. The fish died and we had no fish to eat. We could only buy fish from the neighboring country, Nanguo, which is rich in fish. Nanguo took the opportunity to extort a lot of money from us.]

[In order to avoid being cheated by Nan Guo and to have fish to eat in the future, we must stop the person who poisoned. ]

【It’s not too late. 】

[But how can Jiujiu stop it? ]

Jiujiu thought of a solution.

After hearing Jiujiu's voice, the prince became a little flustered. People in the capital not only rely on this river to eat fish, but also to drink water. If the river is poisoned with a deadly poison, the fish will be killed and people will not be much better off.

Human life is tougher than fish life, and the water dilutes the poison, but the water is still poisonous. Drinking this water will inevitably shorten the life span of people in the capital.
